Packing can be hard, especially because you need different items for different trips, so we put together The Ultimate List Of Packing Lists, filled with list for day trips, overnight trips, and more.
For more help planning your trip, check out all of our travel posts.
Packing can be hard. You don’t want to overpack and worry about your suitcase being overweight at the airport. But you also don’t want to underpack and end up forgetting something.
And then, there are day trips where you aren’t actually sure of what to pack, so you just throw everything in a bag and end up carrying around a really heavy bag filled with things you don’t need.
We’re here to help. We put together this list of all of our packing lists. Just scroll down, find the event or locations you’re packing for, and start checking off the items on our list.
If you find anything that we’re missing on our lists, or if you have ideas of packing lists we should create, definitely shoot us an email and we’ll get to updating and creating.
